The diagrams show what happens when P waves and S waves pass through the Earth. S waves do not pass through the Earth's core S waves cannot pass through the liquid outer core, but P waves can.

P-waves (P stands for primary) are compressional earthquake waves that pass through the interior of the Earth. P-waves change the volume of the material through which they propagate. Note ...

Traveling through the interior of the Earth, body waves arrive before the surface waves emitted by an earthquake. These waves are higher frequency than surface waves. P waves are also known as ...

NASA’s AWE mission just released millions of gravity wave images from space, unveiling atmospheric forces that ripple through ...

The Earth has a layered structure ... There are three types of seismic waves – P waves, S waves and surface waves. P waves are longitudinal waves, and their relative speed is faster than ...

Our solar system's journey around the center of the Milky Way takes it through varying galactic environments, and one may have had a lasting impact on Earth's climate, according to a new study.
